Bookreview:When the Roman historian Tacitus pointed out 19 centuries
ago that the Jews are unique among the peoples of the world in their
intense hatred and contempt for all peoples but their own, he was
only repeating what many other scholars had discovered before him.
For the next 1,900 years other investigators came to similar
conclusions, either from a study of the Jews' religious writings or
from a study of the Jews' behavior toward non-Jews.

Notable among these was the reformer, Martin Luther, who in 1543
wrote in "Von den Juden und Ihren Lugen":

"Does not their Talmud say, and do not their rabbis
write, that it is no sin to kill if a Jew kills a heathen, but it
is a sin if he kills a brother in Israel? It is no sin if he does
not keep his oath to a heathen. Therefore, to steal and rob, as
they do with their usury, from a heathen is a divine service. For
they hold that they cannot be too hard on us nor sin against us,
because they are of the noble blood and circumcised saints; we,
however, are cursed goyim. And they are the masters of the world,
and we are their servants, yea, their cattle...

"Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not
saying too much, but much too little. For I see in their writings
how they curse us goyim and wish us all evil in their schools and
their prayers."

The Jews responded to Luther like they responded to all the
others. They put him down as just another "hater," blinded by
religious bigotry. And today that's still the Jews' standard answer
to everyone who says or writes anything about them except the most
fawning praise.

When British newsman William Cash, Los Angeles correspondent for
London's Daily Telegraph, reported late last year in a magazine
article the simple fact that the executives in Hollywood's motion
picture industry are nearly all Jews, they shrieked at him, "Hater!"
and denied his fact. When famous actor Marlon Brando later repeated
the same fact, he was as well attacked for being an
"anti-Semite".

Thus, Israel Shahak's book "Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The
Weight of 3,000 Years" is all the more important for being a document
by a aknowledgeable Jew -- a Jewish "insider" -- about the beliefs
and behavior of his fellow Jews. Born in Warsaw in 1933, Shahak spent
a portion of his childhood in the concentration camp in Belsen, from
which he immigrated to Palestine in 1945. He grew up in Israel,
served in the Israeli military, and became a chemistry professor.
Like all Israelis, he became fluent in Hebrew. He also became
acclimated to the peculiar moral atmosphere of Israeli society: a
combination of overweening arrogance and deceit, a mixture of
pugnacious self-righteousness and duplicity.

Unlike his fellow Israelis, however, Professor Shahak is deeply
troubled by this peculiar atmosphere. Whereas the Jews around him
take it for granted that the goyim on whom they depend for economic,
military, and diplomatic support are too stupid ever to figure out
what the Jews think about them and say about them behind their backs
and plan to do to them when they can, and too sheeplike ever to take
effective action if they do figure it out, he worries. He remembers
that the Romans figured it out, and they consequently sacked
Jerusalem and ended their cult in Palestine. He remembers that the
Germans figured it out, and that's why he became an involuntary
tenant in a concentration camp. He's worried that if his fellow Jews
continue behaving as they always have, they will get themselves into
some really serious trouble -- again.

In particular, Professor Shahak is concerned about the behavior of
those of his people who adhere to "Judaism". He is not one of these
himself, and so he is able to look with some degree of objectivity at
the mixture of superstition, Jewish chauvinism, and hatred of
non-Jews which makes up the Jewish religion and its sacred writings.
He deplores traditional Jewish teachings, not only because of the
danger that some new Martin Luther will come along and spill the
beans to the Gentiles, but because of the spiritually debilitating
effect these teachings have had on the Jews themselves. Of the world
of medieval Jewry in Europe, the world of the ghetto and the shtetl
which modern Jewish writers refer to in euphoric tones as a world of
quaint tradition and piety, Shahak says: "It was a world sunk in
the most abject superstition, fanaticism, and ignorance ..."

He cites a number of specific instances of the ways in which
Jewish religious authorities have kept their flocks under control. In
general, the rabbis have taught their fellow Jews that their Gentile
neighbors are spiritually and morally unclean; that they are
subhuman, on a level with the beasts of the field; and that they hate
Jews and must be hated in return. Jews are taught that the Christian
religion is a religion fit only for animals, and that its founder,
Jesus, was the son of a prostitute and is presently immersed in a pit
of boiling excrement in hell.

Among the Hassidim (Hebrew for "pious ones") all of these
teachings are kept current. Shahak points out that a central thesis
of the Hassidic doctrine is that only Jews are human beings, and that
the universe was created for them alone. Non-Jews were created only
to be used by Jews. Although this teaching about the subhumanity of
Gentiles is most open and explicit among the bearded, sidelocked,
black-hatted Orthodox Jews that one sees in Jewish strongholds such
as New York City, it comes from the core of Jewish tradition and is
accepted to a greater or lesser degree by all pious Jews. It is, for
example, a specific tenet of the Jewish Defense League and is cited
in the membership handbook for that group.

Especially frustrating to Professor Shahak is the clever deception
which his fellow Jews use to conceal the true nature of Judaism from
their Gentile neighbors. Regarding the veil of false piety which
conceals from Gentile eyes the malevolent doctrine of the Hassidim,
he writes: "A chief deceiver in this case, and a good example of
the power of deception, was Martin Buber. His numerous works
eulogizing the whole Hassidic movement (including Habbad) never so
much as hint at the real doctrines of Hassidism concerning
non-Jews." Buber (1878-1965) promoted Hassidism in Germany during
the rise of the National Socialists -- in fact, until 1938, when he
left for Palestine -- and Shahak considers Buber's efforts, despite
their deceptiveness, at least partly responsible for the National
Socialist reaction to the Jews.

Another example of Jewish deception given by Professor Shahak
concerns the etymology of the Yiddish word for a Gentile girl,
shiksa. He cites the popular English-language book "The Joys of
Yiddish" (New York, 1968), by Leo Rosten, which tells its readers
that shiksa comes from the Hebrew word sheqetz, meaning "blemish".
Writes Shahak, "This is a barefaced lie, as every speaker of
Hebrew knows. The Megiddo Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary, published
in Israel, correctly defines sheqetz as follows: 'unclean animal;
loathsome creature, abomination...' "

Professor Shahak writes with passion. He evidently feels that
liberating Jews everywhere from the shackles of their misanthropic
superstitions and freeing Israeli state policy in particular from the
stifling influence of Judaism is a matter of some urgency. He focuses
our attention especially on the inherent hatefulness of Judaism with
citations from a number of Jewish religious writings.

In a chapter titled "The Laws against Non-Jews," he writes:

"...[T]he Halakhah, that is the legal system
of classical Judaism -- as practiced by practically all Jews from
the 9th century to the end of the 18th and as maintained to this
very day in the form of Orthodox Judaism -- is based primarily on
the Babylonian Talmud. However, because of the unwieldy complexity
of the legal disputations recorded in the Talmud, more manageable
codifications of talmudic law became necessary ... The most
authoritative code, widely used to date as a handbook, is the
Shulhan 'Arukh..."

He then cites the teaching of this code regarding homicide:

"According to the Jewish religion, the murder of a Jew
is a capital offense and one of the three most heinous sins (the
other two being idolatry and adultery). Jewish religious courts
and secular authorities are commanded to punish, even beyond the
limits of the ordinary administration of justice, anyone guilty of
murdering a Jew ... When the victim is a Gentile, the position is
quite different. A Jew who murders a Gentile is guilty only of a
sin against the laws of Heaven, not punishable by a court. To
cause indirectly the death of a Gentile is no sin at all.

"Thus, one of the two most important commentators on the
Shulhan 'Arukh explains that when it comes to a Gentile, "one must
not lift one's hand to harm him, but one may harm him indirectly,
for instance by removing a ladder after he had fallen into a
crevice ... there is no prohibition here, because it was not done
directly." ...

"A Gentile murderer who happens to be under Jewish
jurisdiction must be executed whether the victim was Jewish or
not. However, if the victim was Gentile and the murderer converts
to Judaism, he is not punished."

Then Shahak gives us a rabbi's answer to an Israeli soldier who
has asked whether or not it is proper to kill Arab women and
children. In his answer the rabbi quotes from the Talmud: "The
best of the Gentiles -- kill him; the best of snakes -- dash out its
brains."

Perhaps even more offensive are the Jewish beliefs on sexual
matters. Shahak writes:

"Sexual intercourse between a married Jewish woman and
any man other than her husband is a capital offense for both
parties, and one of the three most heinous sins. The status of
Gentile women is very different. The Halakhah presumes all
Gentiles to be utterly promiscuous and the verse "whose flesh is
as the flesh of asses, and whose issue [of semen] is like
the issue of horses" is applied to them... Therefore, the concept
of adultery does not apply to intercourse between a Jewish man and
a Gentile woman; rather the Talmud equates such intercourse to the
sin of bestiality...

"According to the Talmudic Encyclopedia: "He who has carnal
knowledge of the wife of a Gentile is not liable to the death
penalty, for it is written: 'thy fellow's wife' rather than the
alien's wife ... and although a married Gentile woman is forbidden
to the Gentiles, in any case a Jew is exempted."

"This does not imply that sexual intercourse between a
Jewish man and a Gentile woman is permitted -- quite the contrary.
But the main punishment is inflicted on the Gentile woman; she
must be executed, even if she was raped by the Jew: "If a Jew has
coitus with a Gentile woman, whether she be a child of three or an
adult, whether married or unmarried, and even if he is a minor
aged only nine years and one day -- because he had willful coitus
with her she must be killed, as is the case with a beast, because
through her a Jew got into trouble.""

The Talmud's overriding concern with matters of money and property
mirror that of the Jews, and Professor Shahak offers a number of
hair-splitting examples of Jewish beliefs on the subject and the way
in which distinctions are made between the property of Jews and
Gentiles, and between Jewish dealings with another Jew and with a
Gentile. Two of these examples will suffice here:

"If a Jew finds property whose probable owner is
Jewish, the finder is strictly enjoined to make a positive effort
to return his find by advertising it publicly. In contrast, the
Talmud and all the early rabbinical authorities not only allow a
Jewish finder to appropriate an article lost by a Gentile, but
actually forbid him or her to return it...

"It is forbidden to defraud a Jew by selling or buying at an
unreasonable price. However, "Fraud does not apply to Gentiles,
for it is written: 'Do not defraud each man his
brother'...""

Shahak points out that "the Halakhah interprets all such idioms
[as 'each man his brother' or 'neighbor'] as referring
exclusively to one's fellow Jew."

How have the Jews managed to keep teachings of this sort concealed
from the Gentiles among whom they live? The truth of the matter is
that they have not always been able to do so. Luther was not the only
Christian scholar who learned Hebrew, peered into the Talmud, and was
horrified by what he saw. Sometimes the Jews were able to bribe the
Christian authorities to overlook such things, but throughout the
later Middle Ages there were prohibitions and burnings of talmudic
literature by outraged popes and bishops. The Jews developed a clever
system of double bookkeeping to circumvent such "persecution". They
modified or deleted the offending passages from new editions of the
Talmud, and they made up a separate compendium -- Talmudic Omissions,
or in Hebrew Hesronot Shas -- which circulated surreptitiously among
the rabbis. In Israel today, feeling cocky enough to dispense with
most such deceptions, the Jews are putting the passages which
formerly had been omitted or modified back into the latest editions
of the Talmud or the Shulhan 'Arukh in their original form. They are
still careful with translations into Gentile tongues, however.
Professor Shahak gives an example:

"In 1962 a part of the Maimonidean Code ... the
so-called Book of Knowledge, which contains the most basic rules
of Jewish faith and practice, was published in Jerusalem in a
bilingual edition, with the English translation facing the Hebrew
text. The latter has been restored to its original purity, and the
command to exterminate Jewish infidels appears in it in full: "It
is a duty to exterminate them with one's own hands." In the
English translation this is somewhat softened to: "It is a duty to
take active measures to destroy them." But then the Hebrew text
goes on to specify the prime examples of "infidels"who must be
exterminated: "Such as Jesus of Nazareth and his pupils, and
Tzadoqand Baitos [the founders of the Sadducean sect] and
their pupils, may the name of the wicked rot." Not one word of
this appears in the English text on the facing page (78a). And,
even more significant, in spite of the wide circulation of this
book among scholars in the English-speaking countries, not one of
them has, as far as I know, protested against this glaring
deception."

Israel Shahak is a rare Jew indeed, and his book is essential
reading for anyone interested in the problem of the Jews.

A JEWISH PLOT
against Radio
Islam

By cunning and any other means Israel constantly tries to divert
attention from the Jewish occupation of Palestine and from the
dominance exerted by Jewish power over the western states. A group of
militant Zionists at Stockholm University have thus "revealed" - in
an opinion poll financed by Jewish organizations in Sweden - that 34
% of Swedish junior high school students doubt that the Holocaust has
really taken place.

The result of the poll, which has been made a great feature of in
Jewish-controlled media, caused panic in ruling circles. In the
Swedish parliament immediate measures were demanded from the
government, and in an emotionally tinged pronouncement the prime
minister Göran Persson expressed his indignation and worry about
the fact that only 66 % of the junior high school students
acknowledged the existence of the Holocaust.

Since one of the more important goals of the educational system
and the media is to make people believe in the story of the Holocaust
and to achieve the one hundred percentage of believers demanded by
the Jewish power, Göran Persson has promised to take quick steps
to intensify the brainwashing of the junior high school students and
citizens in general, and to shut the mouth of everybody, who spreads
doubt about the reality of the Holocaust. The Swedish prime minister
has also promised to distribute a video cassette about the Holocaust
to the parents of all junior high school students, so that the former
take their responsibility to educate their children in a Zionist
spirit.

It should be no secret that the speeches of the Swedish prime
minister are usually written by the strong man of the government, the
Jew Leif Pagrotsky! Göran Persson's statement before the
parliament struck the note for the media. The day after the meeting
of the parliament the pro-Zionist Swedish newspaper Dagen wrote that
"The Association of survivors fråm the Holocaust" has decided
to stop Radio Islam and erect a big monument in memory of the
Holocaust in front of the synagogue in Stockholm. In an interview in
the same number of the newspaper the leader of the association, Jakob
Ringart, declared it to be "a scandal that Ahmed Rami is allowed to
continue denying the Holocaust in radio broadcasts on Swedish
soil."

In an interview the same day in Swedish radio and TV one of the
leaders of the Jewish lobby declared that the result of the poll was
the fruit of broadcasts for years from Radio Islam, and that only
Ahmed Rami can be happy about it today. Exactly a week after the
pronouncement of the prime minister the Swedish attorney general
decided to initiate legal proceedings against Radio Islam's home page
on Internet. To the media it was given to understand that the whole
dossier about this "affair" was to be classified as secret.

Since this legal action has been completely covered up and the
attorney general refuses to give a statement, the Swedish television
turned to a professor of law at Stockholm University. In his opinion
"Ahmed Rami may be found guilty of disrespect for the Jewish people,
even if his home page on Interbet is based in America.. As a Swedish
citizen he is to be judged according to Swedish law."

The day after the decision to initiate legal proceedings against
Radio Islam's home page on Internet Ahmed Rami received a bill
concerning the broadcastings from Radio Islam, which sends 35 hours a
week in various languages (among other things information from the
persecuted Canadian history revisionist Ernst Zündel). According
to the bill, Radio Islam is requested to pay 6000 Swedish crowns for
the costs of the broadcasting at a tariff of 65 crowns for a quarter
of an hour (there is a common sender for all the stations).

Radio Islam began sending on the 3rd of March 1987 and has never
before been requested to pay for the transmissions except for the use
of a telephone line connecting the studio with the sender! The
chairman of the board of directors of this sender is an active member
of a Zionist organization, and the signer of the bill (also a
Zionist) is a member of a gay organization, which in its publications
has repeatedly attacked Radio Islam.

These legal and financial persecutions of Radio Islam and its home
page on Internet are not only directed against the person Ahmed Rami,
who has already served a sentence of six months in jail for the
expression of his views, but against the freedom of us all. Yesterday
it was Zündel, today it is Rami. Who will be the next
tomorrow?

It is high time to pass to concrete acts of solidarity across the
geographical, ideological and religious boundaries. The powers of
evil are acting on a global level in a total war to lay our planet
under Jewish dominion. After showing their real face in Palestine
they constantly advance their positions for the purpose of turning
the whole world into a single large prison, guarded by a Jewish
oligarchy!

Our civilization can only survive in a climate of freedom of
thought and respect for fundamental human rights. All religions,
ideologies and political systems should not deny an opposition the
right to exist. The totalitarian Zionism of today is the only
ideology that systematically wants to make the very existence of an
opposition a criminal offence! Before we can coexist, we must first
be able to exist. That right is denied those who are opposed to the
Jewish domination. This fanaticism and obscurantism is a serious
threat against our civilization and against world peace. Each one of
us should do something concrete to defend freedom!
